The approved safe solution regardless of distance would be to transport the vehicle with a low loader. In the case of irregularities on the transmission, put the vehicle out of service and contact your local service dealer or McConnel Service.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Differential Lock When engaged the differential lock provides increased traction by locking each pair of wheels together. The two axles can also be locked together using the 2/4WD switch (see pages 23 & 48). To operate the differential locks depress the differential lock switch located on the right- hand console switch panel.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Driver Settings. Before starting the machine ensure that the seat, steering column and mirrors are set correctly. Driver’s seat. The driver’s seat is fully adjustable as shown. To avoid risks from whole body vibration ensure that the seat is correctly adjusted before driving the vehicle.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Steering Modes The rear wheel steer system on the Multidrive is controlled electronically. Signals from sensors mounted on both axles are continually monitored by the electronic control box and a varying signal is sent from the control to an electro-hydraulic proportional valve which, in turn, directs oil to the steering ram on the rear axle to ensure the rear wheels are always kept in the correct position.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Mode selection To select a mode use the yellow buttons to scroll up and down to select from one of the following modes: Road mode. In the Road mode position the electronics are deactivated for safety and the rear axle will be locked hydraulically. Before switching to this position, allow the rear wheels to straighten up in Two Wheel Steer.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Offsets Steering modes Offset steering modes are useful when spreading in soft ground conditions, the offset enables the weight of the vehicle to be spread over four sets of tracks. These modes can also be used when operating across side sloping land, the rear steer offset can be trimmed so as to maintain directional stability.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Electronic Climate System This Multidrive is equipped with a fully automatic temperature control system that maintains the user selected interior temperature using a digital keypad. The system controls both the heating and air conditioning functions of this vehicle.
Page 48
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 The temperature can be adjusted by pressing the (Red) or (Blue) keys on the left side of the panel. The temperature is selectable between 16°C and 28°C. Adjusting the Blower Speeds The air conditioning blowers have three speeds and are normally controlled automatically by the temperature controller.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Cab Ventilation Control knob The cab side windows are fitted with over centre catches, which permit opening for fresh air circulation and also act as a stay to hold them open at the desired position. When two catches are fitted, open them simultaneously or breakage of glass may occur.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 General Operation Always operate the machine in a safe manner and in accordance with the recommendations in this manual. Enter the cab from the left hand door ensuring that the grab rail mounted on the cab is used whilst climbing the steps.
Page 51
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 For highway use the steering mode must be permanently in road mode. Once the vehicle is off road and in a stationary position the 4-wheel steering may be engaged. ALWAYS select 2-wheel steer (road mode) prior to travelling on the highway or at high speeds for WARNING maximum safety.
Page 52
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 engaged the vehicle may operate in 4-wheel drive within normal parameters, however 4-wheel drive should not be used at high speeds or on hard surfaces where there is plenty of traction. If ignition is turned off 4-wheel drive will disengage.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Cruise control The cruise control is based on an electronic throttle control system. There are different operating modes and pre-set speeds. The same system is also utilized for the remote PTO system. It can be used either statically or whilst moving providing certain criteria are met.
Page 54
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Engine mode – This mode allows you to set the engine to either a pre-set speed or you can set it to the current engine speed by pressing the “Set” button. There are preset speeds which can be saved for field and road use. When this mode is active you can increase/override the speed by depressing the foot throttle.
Page 55
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Speed control To change or set the speed press a yellow button (with the cruise menu off). You will then get a screen like or similar to the one below (there is a different screen depending on which preset speed mode you are using) If the cruise is inactive when the screen is pulled up simply press the orange button to set and engage the cruise at the current engine speed / throttle position.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Hydraulic Power Take Off (P.T.O) SAFETY WARNING - ALWAYS DISENGAGE THE PTO BEFORE DISMOUNTING FROM THE CAB. THE ENGINE MUST BE SWITCHED OFF BEFORE CONNECTING THE PTO OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. PTO system Single PTO Powersaver pump NEVER ENGAGE PTO ABOVE 1000 ENGINE RPM.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 To change mode press the “Mode” key. The screen will change to show the outputs expressed as percentages instead of rpm. The method of adjusting the figures is the same in both cases.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 The remote PTO has to be switched from the driver’s seat with the handbrake on (this also selects the transmission park mode) and the foot brake depressed. To operate lift the red safety cover and switch the inner toggle switch up, the PTO will then run at the pre-programmed speed.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 P.T.O. Safety Information Instruction for Operators when coupling P.T.O. driven machines to Hydraulic P.T.O. drive. If you are coupling a particular implement to the machine for the first time (even if another operator has previously connected it) carry out the following checks: - Make sure the driveshaft is fitted correctly with any overload or overrun clutch fitted at the implement end.
ESSENTIAL that the proper mounting technique is used. An installation drawing is available from McConnel detailing how to effect same (see page 114). In brief, the fore and aft 80mm x 80mm box sections should be used to support the weight of the equipment being mounted and attached via the clevises and pins supplied.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Hydraulic Service Valves Optional hydraulic services are available and can be specified to suit the equipment fitted and number of functions required, layouts of switches will be positioned to suit specific requirements – please refer to the equipment suppliers manual for details.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Optional Equipment Hydraulic Pickup Hitch This type of hitch is operated using the double acting spool valve. 1. The hydraulic hitch is permanently plumbed into the hydraulic system. 2. To lower the hitch, actuate the switch pushing away from the operator’s seat.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Single Line Hydraulic Trailer Brakes To fit the trailer brake hydraulic hose, Remove protective cap from the trailer brake coupling, and connect pressure hose from the trailer, make sure both connections are perfectly clean of contaminating dirt. The hydraulic trailer brakes operate when pressing the tractors brake pedal.

When driving the vehicle without a trailer the cover on the hose coupling must be kept closed.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Air Suspension The suspension consists of an air bag at each side of each axle. Air is supplied to the air bag from the pneumatic system via a chassis mounted levelling valves, the valves control the height of the suspension.
McCONNEL MULTIDRIVE M380‐4 & M420‐4 Cab Air Filter As a standard option dust filters are fitted. The filters are housed in the cab roof above the doors. Regular servicing of these cab filters should be carried out, particularly when working in dusty conditions. Remove grills and two filters to clean. Clean them with compressed air directed from the clean side (this applies to the standard dust filter only).
Any parts replaced must be returned to us for assessment. If McConnel service engineers are called out at any time, to work on the machine or if the machine has to be returned to their works for repair, it must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all chemical and fertiliser residues to enable the work to be carried out safely and effectively.
